Congressional Camp describes itself as Virginia’s premier Adventure Day Camp and has over 80 years of experience. The day camp operates on a 3-day rotating schedule of activities and includes daily swimming in newly renovated pools with a diving board, slide, and splash pad. The Great Adventures program serves the youngest campers entering Junior Kindergarten (Pre-K) or Kindergarten, with daily swimming in kids’ pools and a splash pad and miniature horse rides. Specialty Camps allow campers to focus more deeply on specific activity areas, and Summer Academy offerings provide academic-focused, small group instruction for one hour during the camp day, with the option to be enrolled in both Summer Academy and Day Camp at the same time. Travel Camps depart daily for adventures and excursions in the DC area, and programs are offered at both Congressional School and Sleepy Hollow Elementary, with Specialty Camps at Sleepy Hollow Elementary available for rising Junior Kindergarten through 9th grade.

Staff credentials include Brittneigh McAvey’s Master’s degree in Exercise Science and experience in diverse international settings; Gene Giammittorio’s Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation, Parks and Tourism Resources from West Virginia University and Wilderness First Responder certification; Thomas Howard’s degree in Physical Chemistry with a minor in Philosophy from William & Mary; and Sergio Jimenez’s current work toward a degree in education and a Personal Training certification.
Parent feedback describes Congressional Camp as “the most well rounded, fun for all, summer camp” and notes that children “couldn’t wait to go each day.” Parents report that their children “are excited to go every day,” “look forward to Congo every summer,” and “immediately asked to go back next summer.” Testimonials also mention extended pick up and drop off times, activities including swimming and pony rides, and children coming home “exhausted but happy every day.” Several parents describe it as their “favorite camp experience” and say their kids “had a blast” and “haven’t stopped asking when they can go back.”
